Organic evening primrose oil – virgin – pure – cold-pressed – 250 ml
The evening primrose is truly unique; while most flowers close their blooms at night, it comes to life and blooms. A true natural phenomenon. At the same time this is a sign of the strength and vitality within it, as it speeds up its metabolism so much that you can almost watch it bloom. By midday the next day at the latest, it has withered. Evening primrose oil is obtained from the seeds of the evening primrose.

Description
Organic evening primrose oil from Unimedica contains 90% unsaturated fatty acids. Replacing saturated fatty acids with monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
Organic evening primrose oil from Unimedica is obtained from the seeds of the evening primrose family. The evening primroses are cultivated under strictly controlled organic conditions. After harvest the seeds are gently cold-pressed. This preserves the valuable constituents to a large extent in the pure plant oil without additives. Approximately 10,000 seeds are required for 1 g of oil. A flower spike produces hundreds of seeds.
The evening primrose originally comes from the tropics. After it was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant in the 17th century, adapted new varieties now also grow wild here. Most species flower here in high summer. The flowers open unusually quickly within a few minutes shortly after sunset, which presumably gave them the name evening primrose.
While the taproots can be eaten as a vegetable, the leaves and flowers are suitable for salads or as leafy vegetables. As a medicinal plant the evening primrose is especially used by the indigenous peoples of North America. Today evening primrose oil is valued for its high content of unsaturated fatty acids for refining salads, mueslis, smoothies, dips or marinades, and also as a skin care agent and ingredient in cosmetics.
Each bottle of Organic evening primrose oil from Unimedica contains 250 ml of pure, virgin, cold-pressed evening primrose oil from organic cultivation.
